Thats a solid group again. Would not surprise me if JB has to wait another year. I would like to see some receivers finally get their due. Tim Brown and Andre Reed were two of the most exciting players of their era, and either one could take it to the house at any given time (Brown 105, Reed 87 TDs).

Charles Haley is the one who should be in before all others... that he is still left waiting/wanting is ridiculous. Considering that, along with names like CC & AR, JB should wait.

I agree, he was a great player for the 49ers and Dallas, he has what 4 or five SB rings?

As for Jerome, I think he gets in this time. I remember the game where the Steelers were playing the Rams when Jerome played for them. He ran all over us, then in 96 I think we signed Jerome, and he was a force for years.
Yeah, The bus was a tremendous player for us and is well deserved to be in the hall.

Ya, Haley should get in as well. From the first year guys the only one who I think should walk in first ballot is Ogden. He was one of the top 2 or 3 LTs over a very extended period. I can see Allen getting in too, but he was a guard so we downgrade him for that - although he did play for America's hype machine so.....

I think the first 5 to be eliminated will be Tim Brown, Ed DeBartolo, Kevin Greene, Andre Reed, and Aeneas Williams.

I think the next 5 to be eliminated will be Warren Sapp, Art Modell, Will Shields, Bill Parcells and Michael Strahan. (I think Sapp's problems will keep him out, Model, Parcells ehh, Shields next year, Strahan a few years yet)

Only 4 guys in the history of the NFL rushed for more yards than Bettis...at the time he retired...

He should be in...

For that matter, when Cris Carter retired was 2nd only to Rice in catches (since passed by Marvin Harrison and Tony Gonzalez) and was 2nd only to Rice in TD catches (since passed by Randy Moss and Terrell Owens).
